      In 2010, California voters passed Proposition 20 by 61% to 38%, giving congressional linedraing authority to an independent mapmaking commission.

      Now, Nesom wants to undo it, cancel the commission, tear up the boundaries and let Democratic partisans draft a new set of lines before next year’s midterms.

      Barabak: Gavin Newsom is threatening to end-run California voters. It reflects a terrible trend

      But it’s part of a pattern in recent years of lawmakers, mainly in Republican-led states, undercutting or working to roll back voter-designed measures to enshrine abortion rights, expand Medicare and raise the minimum wage.

      There’s some unbiased reporting.  Not.

      Washington somehow finds a way to overturn voter approved initiatives on a routine basis.  Just another day in the office.  $30 car tabs is one example, roll back green house gas taxes is another.

      This is more grandstanding by Newsome.  Anything will fly in a blue state if it is presented as anti-trump.  WTF cares what Texas does? Looks more like petty grandstanding than leadership.
